Description
Until 1993, it was thought that only the sun's shorter, UV-B rays were cancer-causing. That year, BNL researchers and collaborators announced their findings that malignant melanoma, a deadly form of skin cancer, can be induced by the longer UV-A rays as well as UV-B, and that two visible light wavelengths, violet and blue, may act similarly. Their findings in tropical fish susceptible to melanoma were extrpolated to humans, who are now warned to use proper sunscreen protection.
